Just out of curiosity, you've been here on FR since the 20th century, so why is this an issue now?

Odds are editing tools are low on the list of upgrades for the site since it's been operating so long without them and there doesn't seem to be a great demand for them.

I'm talking as a former programmer, so I don't know what people would prefer these days. Even on my blogger account, I'm more likely to type < I > than I am to take my hands off the keyboard, grab the mouse and click the icon that adds it for me.

Granted, I could see your point when it comes to using a personal device because the < and > keys are so well-hidden that I often just leave them out.

Funny thing is while I supported this way back when, even if it was just for show on their part, I thought the penalties were a little on the stiff side. I wouldn’t put it on par with, say, killing a bald eagle.

It’s not a simple Left Right issue. Scalia and Stevens both voted the opposite that you might’ve expected if it were.

Oddly, until this morning when I read up on it, I thought it was Thurgood Marshall, not Stevens who voted with the dissent. I remember reading a quote from him in the paper around the time it was decided. It could be it was one of those personally it’s despicable but the Constitution yada yada ... I don’t know.

Thanks. I know there secondary effects because I know that they get attributed to sunspots. I was just curious if they were using that knowledge to work backward through time and calculate/estimate sunspot activity of if they could do it back then.

In NYC, (I don’t know if this is still true, but it used to be) school board elections were heard on a different day than general elections because anyone who had a child in school or who was a citizen (and therefore paying for the schools) had the right to vote.

We’ll see the floodgates open by next summer. They’ll be jockeying for position behind the scenes until then, and there were be dozens of rumors and trial balloons before ones who didn’t get to run in 2004 have been waiting for years now because it’s been Hillary’s Turn even since then. (Until Oprah upended it getting behind Obama)

Feh. If Trump is considering him, he has his reasons. Whether it’s for show or because he has something to bring to the table that outweighs other considerations. Trump is there. Trump is going to be Trump. I have no idea what that is going to be, but it’ll be better thanHillary, and certainly couldn’t be worse.

Of course. It the popular collectible card game, "Magic: the Gathering", Swamps are not only Black cards, but they are key Black cards that power all the other Black cards.

To "Drain the Swamp" would automatically be an attack on Black Cards. Such a Spell as "Drain the Swamp" would undoubtedly be a White card, which is worse. (Although, it could be Green, which also opposed Black).

Gawd! That’s hysterical. I was down at that Fairway a couple times after it opened (also the first time I realized how much that part of Red Hook had changed). All I remember besides the cheese and the bakery was that they had about 8 dishes of olive oils to sample (and pieces of bread to dip).

The place was ridiculously expensive and so far out of the way, that we stopped. We like healthier choices, but this was silly.
